At this time, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper noticed that both of them had a wand pinned to their backs.

"It doesn't seem to be a customer, so why don't you come in and have a look?" said the man enthusiastically.

It's a humble and somewhat cluttered shop, and unlike its simple appearance, it's filled with a variety of wand boxes, and it's impossible to get your feet down.

"Although the wands in my store are not very popular, I can say that I am the store with the most wand materials in the whole of France, and I don't have one of them. The man said proudly.

"Compensating for the psyche?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow.

"Seems to be a man who knows the inside story. The man laughed again, not shying away from it.

"What compensation?" asked Fleur in a whisper, but the man heard him, and he explained with a smile:

"My poor grandfather was once infatuated with silver basswood, thinking it was the best material for wands, and he was deceived by merchants and went bankrupt. The man shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile. "To this day, the wood hasn't run out. ”

"Of course, we all know by now that there is no such thing as the best wand material, only the best wand for the wizard himself. The shopkeeper said slowly.

"So I tried to avoid following his old path, um... My father showed me a lot of wandology books, and I compensated for it by studying the nature of wand wood quite deeply. ”

"You wouldn't have thought that apple trees could be used as wands, did you?" said the man, smugly, and pulled out a delicate box from the cabinet at hand, opened it, and removed the wand from it.

"Well, fourteen inches, applewood. The man raised his wand and looked at it carefully, "For wizards with great power and noble pursuits." He nodded, looking to admire his work.

"There have been a lot of failures before this. The man pursed his lips, as if he felt a little distressed about the material of those wands.

"The dragon's nerves, the troll's beard, these cane cores that act as applewood aren't too good. ”

"The former is a good fit for the dark arts, and it is very powerful, but it is completely incompatible with applewood, and as for the troll beard, it is too bulky and not light enough. He muttered to himself.

"The phoenix tail feathers are very good, I bought a phoenix feather from the black market at a good price, and it seems to work well, they are all relatively easy to identify with a righteous wizard. ”

Malfoy and Fleur listened politely and patiently to the man's explanation, his narration was not boring, even somewhat interesting, and even Fleur listened to it with relish.

"Sorry, I was too obsessed for a while. The man said with a smile, and then he came back to his senses.

"Does your wand need to be replaced, or does it need to be maintained and repaired?" he asked.

"I need a wand made of the same material as this one. Out of nowhere, Malfoy pulled out a wand and handed it over.

"What a peculiar request. The man said in surprise, then took the wand, looked at it carefully, and waved it in passing.

"Whirlwind Sweep!"

A moderately strong wind blew up from the store, making a "whoosh" sound, and then swept through the store, sweeping all the dust out of the door.

"Elderberry, dragon's nerves?" exclaimed the man, after just casting a spell, the magic was more powerful than he had imagined.

"I think I know who called you? Are you sure you want to get this wand back?" the man touched his short stubble, the wistful look in his chestnut pupils.

He then said, "This wand is older than mine, and, according to my father, was given to him by a respected wizard. ”

"Yes, sir. Malfoy nodded.

"Okay, when I look for it, I should have put it at the bottom, I thought that no one would come to pick it up. The shopkeeper muttered, put down his applewood wand, and turned to walk towards the end of the shop.

"Is there any point to this wand?" Fleur asked in a low voice, looking at the elderwood wand on the glass case.

"A shoddy little thing, just a token, may also entrust one person's longing for another person. Malfoy shrugged and explained to the girl.

"Oh, I found it, don't look at me, although the arrangement here is a little messy, but I still know where things are. Soon, the man lifted a long, narrow box, walked all the way to the two of them, and placed it on the glass case.

A wand with a pitch-black body and a wonderful pattern was lying quietly in a simple box, and unlike other wands, it did not seek beauty, and its shape was not symmetrical, with occasional short branches sticking out and slightly bulging at the nodes. From this, it may be deduced that the owner of the wand has an unruly nature.

It's just that now the wand is covered in dust, and it looks like it hasn't been used in a long time.

Few people would know that he was once affiliated with the Dark Wizard second only to Voldemort - Gellert Grindelwald.

"It's the same elder—" Malfoy thought and whispered to himself.

Obviously, this is no coincidence.

Grindelwald's first wand was a rare elderberry.

The elderberry itself is cherished for one reason, but another reason is due to the superstition of wizards, most of whom believe that those who possess such wands will invite great misfortune.

The old superstition that "elderberry wands will never prosper" is due to the superstitious fear of this type of wand, and similarly, wands made of this material are extremely demanding for wizards

As a result, wandmakers are less likely to favor wands that cost a lot and can't be sold.

The wand can reflect a wizard's character and even future encounters, for example, the fir wand is called the survivor's wand, which is due to his tenacity, which can often make the wand holder save the day, the beech is more knowledgeable and out-of-the-box, and many Ravenclaw students use this kind of wand, while ash wood is more suitable for people who are good at dueling to hold, more simply, it is the heart of struggle.

Grindelwald, a power-hungry wizard, was perhaps the most famous of the bonewood wands in his wizarding career, which led him to steal the Elder Wand from Grigovich, the owner of the Elder Wand at the time.

At that time, Dumbledore's sister Ariana had already died in the scuffle between the three, and the two had completely turned their faces (hands) and parted ways.

The dangerous dark wizard, second only to Lord Voldemort, began to raise his own army, causing chaos and sacrificing many innocent people for the sake of the so-called "revolution".

In the end, the world's most powerful white wizard and dark wizard at the time held a duel, symbolizing the side of justice, Dumbledore was victorious, and the loser was imprisoned in a prison of his own making, Neumengard.

His snatched Elder Wand and the first wand were naturally captured by Dumbledore in the Battle of the Century.

"And what was Dumbledore's first wand?" Malfoy's mind sank into the sea of thought, a little intrigued.
